Thanks Larry Murphy and Belfast Walking Tours we had a great afternoon.

We are delighted that our housing scheme in Hannahstown received planning approval yesterday evening by Belfast City Council. The project for 260 houses, which is much needed in the area, includes both general and complex needs housing and a community focused ‘Happi Principals’ apartment block for the over 55’s. The development also enjoys large areas of quality open space with enhanced biodiversity, generous private gardens and a children’s playground. Thanks to our client Radius Housing / Choice Housing Ireland Ltd and the design team Gravis Planning/TAYLOR & BOYD LLP/AECOM/ISD Consulting Engineers for their commitment to securing this approval. We look forward to delivering the next phase of this project. #housing #socialhousing #rmi #rmiarchitects #belfastarchitects #nothernirisharchitects #irisharchitecture

The Team at RMI enjoyed a visit to the Grade B+ Listed, ‘Pearl Assurance’ Building in Belfast. Emma Kelso and Victoria Crozier are delighted to have been involved in the restoration and fit-out of this stunning building, delivered by Rathbane Group, which enjoys spectacular views of the City Hall right in the heart of Belfast City Centre. Previously known as ‘Ocean Building’ it was designed by Young and Mackenzie and intended to accommodate shops and offices. The ‘Ocean Accident and Guarantee Corporation’ occupied the ground floor offices, as well as the safe deposit, basement and ‘strong rooms’. Over the past 115 years the building has been used as office and shops by a variety of companies and businesses and has been modified in attempt to keep up with changing regulations. The most recent high-quality refurbishment of the first to fifth floor offices, which are accessed from Donegall Square East, was carried out by Mivan Ltd. This has provided over 200 desk spaces helped by the rear extension on the second and third floor. Office users can avail of the additional outdoor terrace space provided by the extension which is accessed via an internal social space. The existing two retail units on the ground floor are currently undergoing development which will activate the frontage at this prominent location. #restoration #fitout #belfast #belfastarchitecture #rmiarchitects #rmi #listedbuilding #gothicrevival #niarchitecture #northernirisharchitecture #irisharchitecture #northernirisharchitects
